The FEA also provides timely input and updates on pending issues at the state and federal level, Internal Revenue Service and Treasury rulings, and court decisions.

Moore chairs monthly conference calls for forum members and encourages the forum members to share their thoughts, ideas, and experiences with one another during and outside of these conference calls to support each other.
